My experience is that 19m movement 105.002-62 generally have alpha hands. 20m = baton hands. Therefore, I think the hands are replacements and since the hand lume matches the dial, the dial is relumed.

Speedmaster 101 disagrees with you: https://speedmaster101.com/105-002/
In what sense does it disagree? William says "alpha or later baton". Marc is being more specific.
last two sentences in the assessment guide for 002’s: “
Produced in 1962
A very rare reference, produced for about six months. Initially it is actually an unchanged 2998-62, but with a new Omega number in line with the new reference number system. Then part way through the production run the hand specifications changed from alpha to baton. I am unclear when this happened or if there is a pattern to which hands were fitted when. I also do not think the serial can dictate which hand set is/was/should be fitted. I now believe that either handset on any serial is possible.”
